Sure, smartphones will still be everywhere, and we'll again see lots of tablets, but stepping away from the 3D dream, you'll likely see a new round of TV screens that come loaded with apps, including some you can talk to. We predict that will spur a new round of Apple TV set rumors, with Siri playing a big role in that speculation.

Television will also start to look more like movies, with enhanced HD and ways for people to see a clear picture, no matter where they're sitting. Intel, Panasonic, Samsung, Sony, and others will be leading the way here.
